Sure, it's a silly little show, but who hasn't wondered what it's like to be stranded on an uncharted desert isle? And who hasn't wanted a slice of Mary Ann's coconut cream pie? I would also like to add original network airdates if anybody can supply these. The Cast -------- Backus, Jim Thurston Howell III Denver, Bob Gilligan (some say Willy Gilligan) Hale Jr., Alan Skipper Jonas Grumby Johnson, Russell Professor Roy Hinkley Louise, Tina Ginger Grant Schafer, Natalie Lovey Wentworth Howell Wells, Dawn Mary Ann Summers Maxwell, Charles radio announcer The Music --------- Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailin' man, the skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day, for a three hour tour, a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost; the Minnow would be lost. The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle, with Gilligan, the Skipper too, the Millionaire, and his Wife, the Movie Star, and the rest, (the Movie Star, the Professor and Mary Ann,) here on Gilligan's Isle. So this is the tale of our castaways, they're here for a long long time. They'll have to make the best of things, it's an uphill climb. The first mate and his skipper too, will do their very best, to make the others comfortable, in their tropic island nest. No phones, no lights, no motor car, not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe, it's primitive as can be. So join us here each week my friend, you're sure to get a smile. From seven stranded castaways, Here on Gilligan's Isle. Note: Some of the Gilligan's Island music was done by John Williams, formally of the Boston Pops.

These five nice tourists, they take this trip, Relaxing on deck on this little ship. The weather is clear and the sun is hot, <thunder and lightning start here> (Spoken) The weather is clear?
